Are there long-term benefits from massage therapy?

More than ever, doctors are prescribing massage as part of standard treatment for many different medical conditions.

4 long-term benefits regular massages can have on overall health, wellness, and longevity include:

1- Massage therapy increases serotonin and dopamine in the brain influencing mood, sexual desire and function, appetite, sleep, memory and learning.

2- Massage therapy decreases the stress hormone cortisol.

3- Massage strokes and pressure release chemicals into the bloodstream that are then processed through the kidneys, which makes detoxification one of the top benefits.

4- Message increases circulation.
